Vernissage Project Jewellery Designer- Stylert.com

Dec. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Vernissage Project is a fine jewellery brand based in Milano, Italy. Ilenia Corti founded the Vernissage project in the late 2007 with the collaboration of Matteo Mena. The two designers project their fantastic worlds from the center of nature with inspiration from childhood memories, the forest and its little creatures, with a surreal, whimsical touch.

Matteo Mena, and Ilenia Corti are both contemporary artists and accessory designer. They have worked together on the Vernissage Project since 2007. Ilenia Corti is stranger to jewellery design, her parents actually own one of Italy’s leading companies called, Santagostino Fine Art Jewellery. Not only do they support and deliver quality craftsmanship for Vernissage Project it also made Ilenia as the artistic director for her own company.

Each collection is like a story from a book. Mena and Corti capture the essence and inspiration from creatures and nature that emerge from their imaginations. Masked villains and angelic heroines bear the gold cocoon rings covered with silver spiders, winged dragonfly pendants and beetled filigree cuff.

Rendering animals, insects and their habitats in metals and stones, the Vernissage Project delivers pieces with a minutia of details: a burnished silver owl perched on a linked chain grasping fresh fish, a bronzed basket set on a pave of pink sapphires and diamonds carrying twin frogs.

The latest collection called, “The Dragonfly Collector,” it showcases enamelled fireflies frozen on leaf and flowers and a rare limited edition brooch collection.
